<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I was currently looking for a code coverage tool for source code in python. My requirement was that –</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I came across your tool- coverage.py and was going through its documentation. From what I understood, coverage.py works on unit tests only.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The syntax for running coverage.py,</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<pre style="background:white"><b><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Consolas;color:#404040">coverage run --source<span class="o">=</span>dir1,dir2 my_program.py arg1 arg2</span></i></b><o:p></o:p></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">suggests to me that my_program.py is the test case here which runs with coverage to collect data for files present in directories specified by `--source`.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">But I need my tests to run independently of the coverage tool. The coverage tool should be spawned separately (like a java agent) and just record the data in the source files generated by the execution of
the tests.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Can you please let me know whether I can use coverage.py for the purpose stated?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
